Its amazing how inconsiderate people are, in the name of making a living and following the all elusive shilling. I found out just how crazy people are when I was walking into the Pizza in on Moi avenue, iPod belting out sweet tunes in my ear as I ogled at the ladies waiting for someone or rather. Just as I was about to cross in between some two tables, I noticed a lady mopping the floor so I quickly changed my course as it was a rainy period and thus it was just chafu everywhere. The lady looked up, stopped mopping and with the most sincere look in her eye said ‘Asante’, one could almost feel the gratitude in her voice. That just went to show how annoying people can be, instead of just making that small extra effort. I know it was a bit short lasting, considering right after she was done mopping some dude must have swaggered in hauling mchanga from wherever but still, how do you just walk by where the lady has cleaned.
As a driver in Nairobi, one can go freaking nuttz! Drivers clearly blocking a T-Junction, just for the sake of it, overlapping and creating some other 3 lanes where only one existed. Those are bad, so bad one can go to the extent of shooting the damn driver in the head (like that doc for that fake AIDS dawa), but how where would you classify the refusal of some dude to move so that another guy can make a pool shot?
Big, bulky, short, dark idiot sitting on a high chair feeling all sweet like molasses on cow poop! I did not get the logic behind not even acknowledging our request, bugger kept on drinking and laughing like nothing had happened. Considering my lack of mass, I could do just about nothing other than rant and rave, nostrils flaring and eyes popping but he would pretty much send me to HDU with a simple strike or two. You know what some friend of his told me? Ati “You know, I know him, if he ignores you just leave him alone, tell the management to move the table, its the managements problem.”
Once someone tells you that, is it really bright to try and reason with the individual?
